Course Description

Globalization, off-shoring and the just in time paradigm have created vulnerable supply chains that are suffering from unprecedented shocks like COVID-19 and increasing disruptions from climate change. The "chip-crisis" cost the automotive industry alone more than 200 billion in revenues and the low water in Germany is costing the industry hundreds of millions.
This course is designed for students and practitioners to gain an understanding of some theoretical background of supply chain resilience as well as practical measures to prepare their companies for supply chain disruptions. The course describes data-driven or AI-based concepts for supply chain resilience management.
